Our Solvent Based Floor Finishes
Synteko’s focus has been to produce quality products for the most discerning
architect and designers. Synteko’s high standard means that the company
does not manufacture the cheapest or widest range of products. Synteko produces
proven quality products that enhance the natural beauty whilst leaving behind
a durable, long-lasting, beautiful floor finish that will completely satisfy
you and your customer.
For the last 50 years, Synteko’s Swedish finish known
as “Classic” has withstood the test of time and
set the benchmark for excellence, that no other solvent-based
finish can match. Synteko’s Classic system provides
a unique combination of durability, scratch and scuff resistance,
clarity and grain definition. The Classic system also provides
unsurpassed beauty, bringing out the natural colour of your
Wood floor.
The Classic advantages to you, the Architect/Designer, is
a sophisticated product that can be coated over all new timber
floors i.l.o tungoil based finishes without the incidence
of edge bonding o r rejection commonly experienced with oily
timbers. In addition a further advantage is the low maintenance
cost associated with polyurethane type finishes
If surface scratches are made in the topcoat they are less
visible than other finishes and less likely to chip or peel
away. No need to apply acrylic type waxes on a monthly basis.
When the Synteko Classic system begins to show signs of wear
it can be simply re-coated without re-sanding to bare wood.
The Synteko Classic Swedish system is engineered to provide
maximum durability while maintaining the natural appearance
Classic has come to be known for. Our Oil Based Floor Finishes
Synteko’s mission is one of producing uncompromising quality products.
Synteko floor coatings have been at the forefront of timber floor finish technology
for the last 35 years. This policy is especially carried through to its oil
range of timber floor finishes.
Synteko has developed two-world class leading, yet distinctly
different oil finishes. Namely, Synteko Urethane and Synteko
Solid.
Synteko Urethane is superior quality oil modified polyurethane-engineered
floor finish. This floor finish is renowned for its depth
of beauty and because of its high solid content, is extremely
durable, especially compared to traditional oil finishes.
Synteko Urethane is a universal product enabling it to be
used on any species of timber floor. Urethane gives the timber
floor finish richness of colour while offering maximum protection.
Synteko Solid is an innovative very high solids oil finish
based on natural oils for timber floors. This VOC compliant
natural oil can be used in high wear areas where traditional
oils cannot be used. Solid is characterised by an exceptional
high yield coupled with extraordinary abrasion resistance,
which is obtained through no evident film left on the surface.
Solid penetrates deeply into the wood surface enhancing the
natural beauty and warmth of the wood. These results in an
extremely durable, matte finish requiring minimal maintenance.
A unique feature of Synteko Solid is the ability to modify
its basic colour by adding a range of pigmented colours. Click
